    Where dafuq it stacks? AFAIK in most of the world it is either paid out in the end of the year or is wasted and goes nowhere.

      Fairly certain it stacks in more western nations than it doesn’t. I know a woman in Australia who fucked off for almost a full year after saving up time for a decade.

      California doesn’t allow “use it or lose it” vacation policies. Vacation rolls over up to a reasonable amount, which apparently isn’t super well defined, but my employers have generally set a limit of 2x annual.

      In Czechia (not sure if by law) you can take half of your days off to thr next year. So, if you had 20 days off a year, you have to use 10 (HAVE to, they don’t just fizzle out) you can stack 10 to the next year, so you can have up to 30 a year.

      Depends on the job. Some will let time carry over… It’s pretty rare to carry over for more than a year… Anon is a dumbass.

      United States Postal Service, 440 hours (55 days) max accumulation of annual, temporarily increased to 520 hours/65 days since the pandemic, and unlimited sick leave rollover. Accumulated at a rate of 13 annual days and 13 sick days per year once you’re a career employee, and 20/13 after 3 years.

      Employed in the US, I can stack up to 240 hours. After that it’s use it or lose it, so I just take a few hours off every week.

          The hours makes sense for a lot of companies that have shift work, because different employees have differing amounts of hours in their workday. Plus, my old place of work would let you use a few hours at a time, so if you wanted you could have off every friday afternoon.

          Genuine ignorance and curiosity - do y’all only do days? If you have to take half a day off, do you round up or down? And so I can have some context for your answer what country are you from?

            Hungary here. Can’t remember the exact wording of the law, but most employers only give out full days. Employers have a lot of control over when paid time off can be taken, as long as the legally mandated requirement (at least 20 days plus other conditions every year) is met.

            My previous job, where I did rotating night shifts, counted the days that coincided with the start of the shift: if I had a paid day off on a Tuesday on a night shift week, I’d work from Monday 22:00 to Tuesday 6:00, stay at home on Tuesday, and start my next shift on Wednesday at 22:00 (just a hypothetical, I always tried to take full weeks).

          To be fair, 240 hours divided by an 8 hour work day is 30 days. That’s pretty good amount of time that can roll over. Where I live it isn’t measured in hours but there is less time that can roll over than 30 days.

            I also fully recognize that I have a fairly generous employer. I don’t think my experience is representative of most Americans.

        I can carry a max of four days to the next year, but the system doesn’t track it so it’s an “honor” system

        which basically means leverage to fire you over it if they even need a reason

      In Austria, vacation days expire two years after the end of the vacation year in which they were created. So you can save up vacation days, but not all of them for four years. You can do things like: go on only two weeks of vacation in year 1, then eight weeks in year 2.

        Are y’all getting 5 weeks of vacation a year? My American mind cannot comprehend this.

        I’ve been at my company for almost a decade and I think I’m a bit over 4 weeks of vacation, a good chunk of that is due to seniority.

          Yes, legally required for all employees. 6 weeks for employees who have been working at the current company for a very long time.

              at least 13, at most 25 years depending on various factors (how long you have been employed in total, how long you studied in school/university, and other factors)

      In France, companies can choose if they stack or not, but you’re usually forced to take them after a certain amount has accumulated.
